Norcold doors

Have a 1210M Norcold unit, went we made a sharp left turn or hit a bad bump in the road the doors will come open. Has anyone found a repair for this problem if you had same problem??
  • It may be possible that the bottom hinge is starting to break ( if it 's a newer one with plastic hinge) or the screw on the bottom side of the door is not tight, so not holding the door in place to latch as well as it should. If it's the plastic hinge, I understand they have fix kits. Our Norcold is old enough it has metal hinges, but we have had to tighten those screws and put hold tight on them.
  • Thanks for your help, glad you haven't had this problem. Doors hatch and are fine UNTIL hard left or big bump
  • Can not help from first hand, but I did a search and found this. Put this into your search engine, it should help.

  • WOW we have been driving our motorhome for 17 years with the same refrigerator and have never had the doors open up while driving. There must be some kind of defect with yours or it needs an adjustment.
